A recap of some of the past week’s scenes, sightings and stories from across the Eastside.

A 12-year-old girl has been booked in connection with an apparent accidental shooting that wounded two students — one of them critically — inside a classroom at Sal Castro Middle School just south of Echo Park. The shooting left a 15-year-old boy in critical but stable condition with a gunshot wound to the temple and a 15-year-old girl in fair condition after being shot in the arm, according to police and fire department reports. In addition to the two students who were shot, three others — including a 30-year-old female, an 11-year-old-male and a 12-year-old female — sustained minor injuries described as cuts and abrasions, mostly likely from broken glass, said the L.A. Fire Department. The Eastsider

Baseball’s Major League All Star Game could happen here in 2020. The Dodgers are apparently in the running to host the game as well as related events during All-Star Week. It would be the first time the ballpark hosted the All-Star match since 1980. While there has been no official decision yet, the team is getting things in order just in case. Councilman Gil Cedillo of District 1 introduced a motion saying that the Dodgers have agreed to pay $100,000 to cover the cost of additional services – such as law enforcement and traffic management – that the city would provide during All-Star Week. The motion does not say how much cost that city would actually incur but notes that the week-long event has typically provided a $90 million economic boost to host city thanks to fan spending. The City Council must approve the deal. Dodger Blue & L.A. City

Affordable housing could replace five public parking lots in Lincoln Heights. But there has been a lot of buzz in the neighborhood about what exactly the city’s plans for that entail. Some claim these lots near the shops and restaurants of North Broadway will be turned into homeless centers and the sites for 1,000 apartments. Officials have refuted that number and other claims.
